Nazi references are so hot right now!

Senator Durbin got into all kinds of shiznit yesterday for using a Hitler metaphor when talking about Guantanomo Bay. But where was the Washington Times's outrage when Tom Cruise--the soon-to-be Mr. Katie Holmes--called psychiatry a Nazi science in an interview with Entertainment Weekly?

EW: You are aware that your views about psychiatry come across as pretty radical to a lot of people.
CRUISE: In the 1980s, you were supposed to say no to drugs. But when I say no to drugs, I'm a radical? 'He's against drugs -- he's a radical! He's against electroshock treatments -- he's a radical!' [Laughing] It's absurd!
EW: Yeah, but Scientology textbooks sometimes refer to psychiatry as a ''Nazi science''...
CRUISE: Well, look at the history. Jung wasan editor for the Nazi papers during World War II. [According to Aryeh Madenbaum, the director of the New York Center for Jungian Studies, this is not true.] Look at the experimentation the Nazis did with electric shock and drugging. Look at the drug methadone. That was
riginally called Adolophine. It was named after Adolf Hitler... [According
to the Dictionary of Drugs and Medications, among other sources, this is an urban legend.]

Tom is totally going all Mel Gibson's Daddy on our asses. FREE KATIE!!
